Men are fragile creatures when it comes to women. They must feel that they can control the woman in order to feel at ease around her or if not control be in some way superior to her (intelligence, wit, success, wealth etc). Egos are delicate and once bruised take a LONG time to heal.

This is why us women need to pander to their fragility. Don't boast about anything. Try and dumb yourself down so he can step in and explain things to you. Show your weak and feminine nature so he can step up and be a "proper man". It's very difficult for them to find their place today what with women thinking they can provide for and support themselves in this modern world. We must endeavour to make them feel needed.

You can tell he is intimidated by you if he sweats, stutters, shouts, cries, speaks, breathes, holds his breath, squeaks when he walks, calls his mom to pick him up after two minutes conversation, pulls on his neck beard while you chat etc etc. Classic signs.

Haha, very good explanation xD +1

omg! I need the opinion owner in my life. Yes, men generally like to feel needed in the life of their partner. I love to help fix things or give more knowledge to my partner.

[PlutoLastJuly]

@Joti_Harrison Exactly, women are perfectly capable but we should pretend we aren't to make men feel better. Other wise, where is your place in this world?

Signs he's intimidated by you:
- he looks like a deer in headlights, terrified (Dead give aways, dead, get it?
- he looks jumpy when around you but relaxed with others
- he looks shaky talking to you
- he warily approaches you
- he loses courage midway talking to you, gives up and leaves
- he asks for permission to do things like walk by you

i get it . they are intimidated by each other . that's so sweet
why not go to a museum, a park, a coffee shop or get some ice cream
you don't have to say a word . just be your your flirty selves .
as you get to know each other . maybe sparks will fly .

[BrileyCat]

Now I am intimidated . after reading the 'update' .
I thought I was the only one who figured it out . 🙀

[tacoty21]

Well if his friends say so then that clue number one lol. You never really know unless you read his body language. He may be flirty with you be is it directly flirting or is it I'm trying to flirt hope you like it.

[El_Buhdai]

Acting awkward, being tense or stiff, not looking you in the eye when speaking.

Source: I used to be super awkward with girls, and I can still be awkward these days.

[Cosytoasty]

He doesn't look you in the eye. But if he's flirting with you he probably isn't intimidated.

[Dim1213]

Probably because they notice that he is more nervous or shy around you. If he was really intimidated by you he would not be acting as an equal and flirting with you.

[TonnyStryder]

He won't mantain eye contact, will stammer a lot, will make lots of unecessary movements or none at all. And you will literally hear his heart beat.

[Dargil]

If i felt i was out classed on looks, intelligence, etc., i would have to make a quick calculation on whether to proceed with her. No harm in knowing your paygrade and sparing yourself needless angst.

[amarahorrorstory]

My best friend's ex was always intimidated by me, even though we are friends, he just thought I hated him. He just gets like that, I have an abrasive personality though.

[vishna]

If someone avoids eye contact, that's a sign of nervousness or I guess intimidation. But isn't it normal to have jitters the first few dates?

[rjroy3]

He lays a dead virgin squirrel at your feet as sacrifice, to spare his crops for another season.

[CyberToothTiger]

Your question is bit confusing whose intimidated by who?

[pshi25]

Ask him out, see what happens. If he likes you but is intimidated he'll prolly agree.

[Jxpxtxr]

Sooo is your question about him being intimidated by you or you being intimidated by him?

[Elarra]

Usually no eye contact or he's looking around a lot.

[Orph__]

His pants are still wet from when you pee'd on him to show dominance

[deraz24]

They're either shy/anxious or hardly any eye contact

[Berki]

If he's flirting he's into you so just ask him boys like it when a girls asks

[AriadneSky]

ask him what?

[Anonymous]

Maybe they mean that that he's shy of you or maybe that you're trying to move things too fast for him or being too forward?

[NerdKing16]

If they don't act themselves around you and instead act awkward as hell

[scooogy]

When he's avoiding being around you and also looking at you

[COCOCHANEL]

if he's flirting with you he's not intimidated. he just doesn't brag and try to tell people how much of a man he is.

[Asingh]

well what do you have that could intimidate? Are you successful or a model?

[CapnHawk]

I'm a bit confused. Who is intimidated by whom?

[Saad_1992]
